Heat and Movement

Nothing is ever completely still. When atoms move or particles jiggle, they carry enerygy. The faster, the more energy. Combine all the energy of atoms and molecules in movement and we have what we call heat.

If we ever reached absolue zero for an object, it would be perfectly still. no time would pass for it. Likewise, if something were perfectly still, it would have no heat and no time would pass.

If everything in the universe stopped moving at all, we would never know because everything would be frozen still and all time would stop.
